This is some series...it's been a long time since i've been this much into a show...and, perhaps unfortunately, i watch a lot of tv...

i've read it's got some problems with getting the facts right and all but, omg, when it's on i'm totally into it! Love the acting, love the plot, and like my beloved seahawks, to me this show has no weakness...

I'm a fan and it seems to have gotten better as it's gone on. When the brother finally betrays Ragnar the stuff is really going to hit the fan. Also agree that Ragnar's wife is awesome in more ways than one.

I'm really enjoying it. I'm glad they renewed it for a second 10-episode season. But I wonder if the second season will be a different vikings story? I guess I'll have to find out how this one turns out.

I love it too. Zeb, which part was over the top? I think the violence and warrior culture is accurate, especially since some of the most famous vikings had names like "Skull Splitter" haha. The viking holy man is a bit much if you are going for realism, but it's believable as I'm sure there were not many jobs for people with deformities.

Like I said, it was just one episode and completely out of context, I know nothing about the story. It just seemed like there was a lot of extra cool, perfectly timed one liners and stuff like that. Not how I would expect Vikings to talk. But again, I didn't get introduced properly to the characters or the setting so I'm going to reserve any kind of actual judgement till after I watch it from the top. A lot of people I know really like it so I expect that will be my experience as well.

Really good show, I love it.About it being "over the top" I think they actually held back with regards to the violence it shows. The vikings were known for their brutality, raping women and killing everything in their path. it definitely tries to show more of their human side...
